I wish. YIMBYs have not managed to do anything of consequence. It's naive and far too premature to declare that things are turning in the right direction. 75% of new housing is single family homes. We're building the same unsustainable housing stock, with the same sprawl, that results in crazy prices. This isn't a win. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-single-family-housing-starts-surge-july-2023-08-16 https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-single-family-housing-st... The California ADU "win" is inconsequential. California is down 3-4 million units. We're talking about 20k ADUs per year. California needs to build 300k-400k+ units per year. Building at such a low rate is a NIMBY win! In my extremely left Massachusetts town NIMBYs just killed 1000 units of new housing and turned them into hundreds of thousands of square feet of lab space. All because they don't want anyone to change the character of the neighborhood. Better to have a lab building than to accept an equally sized building with new people in it. Heck, in the town nextdoor they just voted against new bikeway on land that is already owned by the state (disused rail trail) and fully paid by the state. All this would have done is raise people's home values. And this isn't a one off, it's happened regularly in the state for years now. NIMBYs are definitely winning. All of the basic statistics show this no matter where you look.
